Dr. Dale Brigham hounded out after urging students to stand up to death threats

The witch hunt at the University of Missouri claimed another victim yesterday after Professor Dale Brigham was forced to resign for merely daring to suggest that students should stand up to bullies by attending an exam.

After death threats were made against students by a suspect who was later arrested by police, Brigham sent an email to members of his Nutritional Science 1034 class which stated, “If you don’t feel safe coming to class, then don’t come to class. I will be there, and there will be an exam administered in our class.”

The professor, who is white, urged students to prevent the “bullies” from winning by attending the class. “If you give into bullies, they win. The only way bullies are defeated is by standing up to them. If we cancel the exam, they win; if we go through with it, they lose,” he wrote.

Some students responded to the email by venting on Twitter,accusingBrigham of being a, “failure as a human being,” and calling for him to be fired.

It is important to emphasize that Brigham gave his studentsthe choiceto attend the exam or not, he didn’t even insist on their presence, yet was hounded out anyway for disrespecting their “safe space”.

After media reports from the likes of extreme left-wing outlets likeSalonamplified the contrived outrage, Brigham sent a subsequent email which stated, “The exam is cancelled. Our students will be able to take the exam at an alternate date with no loss of points. No one will have to come to class today. And, I am resigning my position.”

It also emerged that threats of KKK members on campus throwing bricks were completely erroneous, forcing Missouri Students Association president Payton Head toapologizefor circulating the false rumors.

“His class was one of the most popular at Mizzou and he was the friendliest teacher I’ve ever had. It’s a shame that he’s leaving while Melissa Click stays, one student toldCampus Reform, adding that Dr. Brigham was “one of the most beloved professors at Mizzou.”

Meanwhile, it has emerged that Students Association president Payton Head, who whipped up the hysteria by circulating fake threats,met directly with President Obamawhen he visited the White House in 2011.
